Tag: thanks for stopping by

Can you do another one of your parody poems please :)

Sure! 

Character: America

Parody of: Fresh Prince of Bel Air. 

Now, this is a story all about how

My life got flipped-turned upside down

And I’d like to take a minute

Just sit right there

I’ll tell you how I became the hero of—[England] “NOBODY CARES!—”

In the western frontier born and raised

On the farm ground was where I spent most of my days

Diggin’ out building, settling all cool

And all shooting cacti with some hella rad dudes

When a couple of cowboys who were up to no good

Started making trouble in my neighborhood

I got in one little shootout and my guardian got scared

He said “You incompetent dumbass I’m taking over ALL your affairs”

I begged and pleaded with him day after day

But he packed away my freedom and sent my pride on its way

He gave me a whap and told me to play some cricket

I put on my brave face and told him to stick it

On my own, yo this isn’t so bad

Spilling out tea like it ain’t my business

Is this what running a country on your own is like?

Hmmm this might be alright.

But wait, I hear them other nations; prissies, bourgeois all that

Is the type of respect that they treat this cool cat?

I don’t think so

They’ll see when I get there

I hope they’re prepared for the hero of—[England] “NOBODY CARES!—”

Well, isolation hit and when I came out

Nations lined up to ally with me and gain some clout

I ain’t trying to forgive them yet

I just got here

I grew with quickness like lightning, disappeared

I whistled for my minions and we hollered and cheered

The world said freedom, our enemies were smeared

If anything, I could say this victory was square

And I thought “we did it!” Fair is fair

We allies pulled through Europe, about may 7th… [England] “The 8th!  

I looked at the world

I was finally there

To sit on my throne as the hero of—[England] “nobo—”

 

—I CARE!

Hey umm i have noticed somethings, first why is Germany able to see the dead so easily even thought he doesn’t seem to have any supernatural abilities?(I know they might be visiting him but all visits we have seen (like from Rome) are usually on dreams). And if HRE is dead and not Germany why hasn’t he tried to visit Italy? technically if he is dead he could be able to do it.

So
much to break down, so I’ll try to be concise. (I can’t remember which post I already
wrote all this in).

Rome
visits the Italy brothers in their dreams, but Germany is the exception. That visit
takes place when the latter is awake.

Source: Hetarchive, Grandpa Rome’s Visit Home.

As
for the supernatural thing: I think that’s a purposeful complexity of Germany’s
character.

There’s
the irony of a supernatural “strange being” strongly believing in empiricism and
scientific fact. While Germany is quick to discount ghosts, the fact that he
sees them is important.

Nations
don’t see ghosts unless they believe in them as a result of their people
holding these same beliefs. We’ve seen this with Japan, who lost his ability to
see youkai and other supernatural beings during the Meiji era. Longer post here
[x].

In
other words, if Germany sees them, the logic in the manga follows that he must believe
in them, regardless of how much he verbally discredits it.

For example: Even though he waves
off Quintillus—a Roman emperor—as a boy and not who he openly claims to be,
Germany refers to Quintillus as Roman afterwards. It doesn’t seem to be put sarcastically either.

If anything, on top of
revealing that Germany may have actually recognized Quintillus as a spirit,
this also ties in with the fact that Germany’s interest in Roman history is
putting him along a trajectory of recovering his roots; that is, if he is Holy
Rome.

Source: Hetascanlations, World Stars Chapter 41.

Since
we know that nations who have passed on live in heaven, Holy Rome not visiting
Italy supports the idea that he never died and had instead lived on to adopt
the title of Germany, albeit possessing no memory of his past life. 

Chapter 1
of World Stars states that during title changes, it’s possible for the personification
to adopt a new personality. Since personality is heavily influenced by memory,
it could just be that the personality change is Germany losing his past
memories.

First anon: It doesn’t come off as rude, no worries. Pssst. It’s okay to have a different opinion!

I’m just a bit confused by your conclusion. I’ll explain mine below, although I have gone into more depth about this in several England-centric posts. Popularity isn’t a shield against hate but rather a beacon. 

Second anon: When you send an ask like that, it would be helpful if you explained why you think that way. You didn’t provide me with another character. 

Guys, anyone who knows me will know that I’m a major England fan. I don’t have to state it for it to be obvious. I’ve been in the fandom for several years and this is what I have consistently observed:

Aside from ships/ anti-ship blogs, I’ve noticed that most anti-character blogs are about England. For the most part, they either criticize him because he’s popular “he’s overrated,” his rude comments, or his poor job at raising America. Again, I’ve covered this all before [x] [x] [x] [x] [x]

Across fandoms, there’s a tendency in which characters that are the most popular accumulate the most flack and scrutiny.

Thank you! 

Uh…I’m probably not the best person to give you advice on this. I choose UOttawa because it meant that I would save money and not have to live out. Meanwhile, a lot of people recommend that you move out to experience living on your own. 

It’s really up to the person but I wasn’t about to spend an extra 10 grand a year just for living and food expenses. I also chose the university (over Carleton, the other uni in Ottawa) because it’s average acceptance requirements were higher and that my program offered a field placement option. Honestly, if your GPA is high enough, it doesn’t matter where you get your undergrad from. Work and relevant volunteer experience are more of an asset.

I’m not 100% sure where you’re coming from, so what I’m saying may not even be useful to you (e.g., the US, because I know that universities are privately run, unlike in Canada where they’re public institutions). Academic cultures differ, so that would be where you would have to do more research to better inform your decision.

❤ Yeeeee buddy. Tysm.

Don’t poke a bat at a wasp’s nest, anon. I told him to be nice, but he didn’t listen.

Mathew: No, we’re just different. We stand out more than your normal regular ass.

2p! Canada confirmed.

Thank you 😀 Haha yes, it’s stuck!  He’s all proud that I’m bragging about him and was a good sport about the duck hunting meme. 

Him: Most guys want to send dick pics. Meanwhile, I send duck pics. 

Me: *deep sigh*

Don’t feel bad, dude. I don’t really care what you’re here for, just that you’re here and are enjoying yourself 🙂
